If you’ve ever skipped a night out because your dog looked too cute to leave, you’re not alone. A new report says the average dog owner makes 27 decisions every month based solely on their pup — from canceling social plans to spending extra on gourmet treats.
Let’s break it down:
🐶 4 plans canceled per month because the dog can’t come.
🐶 6 plans cut short because, well, they miss their furry baby.
🐶 Flexible jobs? People admit changing their work schedules and locations just to keep their dogs happy and anxiety-free.
And get this — if you don’t have kids, the dog becomes the kid. The report found that dog parents without children are more likely to:
- Drop cash on fancy treats and toys
- Upgrade to high-quality pet food
- Buy dog beds that are comfier than their own
- Splurge on “dog furniture” (yes, that’s a thing)
- Order engraved tags, monogrammed blankets, and more personalized goodies
Basically, these dogs are living in luxury… and they know it.
So, next time someone cancels on you last minute? Don’t take it personally — they’re probably just caught in a full-blown cuddle session with their four-legged boss.
